Chapter 441: 441 way out
The issue has been resolved. Now the only problem left is where Liang Lanqing should go.
Old Liang, being a straightforward person, knew that what happened couldn't be blamed on the Zhou family, but he still couldn't help but harbor some resentment towards them.
"Old Liang, my aunt is in another city, and I'll resolve the work situation tomorrow. I'll take Xiaoqing to find my aunt and find a family for her to marry into over there."
Old Liang nodded. He also knew that the young woman must marry far away. It would be better for her that way. Otherwise, the fingers pointing and the whispers from everyone would be unbearable. No family would want a daughter-in-law like that.
Wu Fangyun didn't even look at Liang Lanqing at the moment, feeling disappointed in her. Although she could marry far away, the four of them would still have to live here.
They would certainly live under the judgmental eyes of everyone. Fortunately, Daliang and Erliang were still young. Otherwise, they might not even be able to find wives.
Liang Lanqing had no opinion now. She went back to her room in a daze and lay down directly.
In a foggy state, she recalled the events of the past few years.
She felt like an outsider, watching herself acting out.
Seeing the bizarre things she did, she couldn't believe it was her doing.
In essence, she wasn't a bad person; selfish, undoubtedly, but not extremely wicked either.
She shed tears; it was all her doing, and now she didn't hate Zhou Yongbing or Chen Xiaoguang. It was all her problem.
She experienced a profound realization and felt ashamed of what she'd done before. Thankfully, she hadn't harmed anyone, so her guilt was much less.
Mr. Zhou had, of course, also heard the news. But his work was especially busy today, leaving him unable to leave. He was terribly anxious, not knowing how his daughter-in-law was doing. They truly treated their daughter-in-law like their daughter.
So, at noon, he came home, meeting his wife on the way. The two hurried home to see the young couple eating.
"Mom and Dad, you're back. Come and sit down to eat."
Seeing no change in their daughter-in-law, the older couple was relieved.
"No need for you; I'll do it myself."
Still, it was Zhou Yongbing who cooked the noodles.
Zhao Yanli waited instead and ate together; the whole family ate noodles and dumplings, sharing the same meal.
This way, she felt comfortable, believing that the family should share happiness and hardships.
The Zhou family's older couple was very satisfied; how could they not like such a daughter-in-law? This was truly family.
"Xiao Li, don't take it to heart."
"Mom, I know. Anyway, I've vented, and the matter is over. It's nothing."
The daughter-in-law comforted them, warming the hearts of the three of them.
After eating, the older couple went back to work. The lunch break was very short; they wouldn't have come back if they weren't worried about the young couple.
In the afternoon, Zhao Yanping and Mrs. Zhang came over with their children, having also heard about the situation.
"Really, don't worry about me. I'm truly fine."
Zhao Yanping let out a sigh of relief, fearing her younger sister's temper might cause marital discord.
"Elder sister, I won't overthink it. I know this isn't Zhou Yongbing's fault."
"It's good that you understand."
"Yes, his aunt, don't worry about it. Actually, this situation means Liang Lanqing can't stay here any longer."
Zhao Yanping's sisters also knew that after this incident, how could she possibly stay?
Zhao Yanli had calmed down here and was just waiting to give birth.
On the fourth day, Su Yuanyuan and the couple met.
Tan Shaoting finally let go of his anxious heart.
Daqing and the others finally realized that the sister-in-law had gone out too. Seeing their leader's expression was a bit much.
Lu Shaoqun was even more surprised to see such an expression on this ruthless person? Now he understood it; the people on the road were evidently targeting this ruthless person's wife and children. It was unbelievably fortunate that they missed them perfectly. What a pity.
Even a fool could see that this person's weakness was his wife and children.
Tan Shaoting held the three children in his arms, feeling that only then was everything complete.
Though he held the children in his arms, his eyes were always on his wife.
He had faith in his wife, knowing she would surely be fine, but he couldn't be at ease until he truly saw her.
"Daqing, take this person back."
"Yes, leader."
Su Yuanyuan was smiling, waiting on the side. Actually, she also wanted to return; being outside was mentally exhausting. She felt a bit shaky mentally, really unstable.
She considered returning home to learn stone-cutting and carving, to calm her mind.
Su Yuanyuan was still the one driving, with the three children clutching tightly to Tan Shaoting.
"Do you have any plans? Or should we just head back together? I feel a bit tired being outside."
"Yuanyuan, let me drive."
"It's okay, it's a matter of my state of mind. Let's go back."
"Alright. Then let's go back. I was thinking the five of us could spend a few days outside together."
Su Yuanyuan laughed, "What fun can we have? I need to calm down a bit."
Tan Shaoting understood. He looked at his wife with heartache. The first group must have been dealt with by his wife; letting a woman experience these things was his incompetence.
"Yuanyuan."
"Alright, don't say anything. Let's just head back.
How's it? Capturing the person means the task is completed, right?"
Su Yuanyuan quickly changed the subject, unwilling to continue the discussion. It was unnecessary. What had happened was done. Talking wouldn't mean anything. She just needed time to adjust herself.
"Not bad, completed two tasks. Yuanyuan, my ring can't be used now."
"What's going on?" Su Yuanyuan's heart tightened; could such a thing really happen?
"I think it might be temporary. After I completed the first task, I felt something strange nearby,
Here in our place, this would be considered a kind of summoning.
So I followed the feeling and found a jade ring. I could feel that it was this, so I bought a bracelet, a hairpin, and two peace pendants from the old man over there. The old man asked for three hundred, and I bought them all.
Back home, I tried to establish a connection with a drop of blood, but there was only a slight connection with no other feelings. Then, I put the ring safely in the ring, and it couldn't be used anymore. I think it's probably merging."
"Does that mean it might never be usable again, or will it possibly upgrade?"
"Exactly. That's it."
"So, how have you been during this time? What do you want to eat?"
The three kids, hearing about food, eagerly looked at Su Yuanyuan.
She smiled and stopped the car. Looking back at her husband and three kids with a smile.
"What do you all want to eat? I'll get it for you."
"Shrimps," the three kids said in unison.
"Alright, we'll have shrimps; just wait." Since the kids were all awake, she couldn't just take it out directly.
